Hello y'all!

It's been a few months since I've posted here, but I'm now 9 months post op and down 85 lbs. Feeling excited about this, but also feeling it could be more if only I stayed full!!!!

I'll eat a meal, and then w/in an hour be actually hungry again. Like faint, sweaty, really hungry. It's frustrating honestly. I'd love some advice from those of you who have been there.

I can still eat very very little meal food, but of course can pack down the sliders like it's no one's business. If I eat more than a single bite of meat, I vomit, so I stick to salads most often.

I just want to be able to use my sleeve better than I am - I want to be able to eat 3 meals a day and feel good about that without being hungry all the time. Open to any and all suggestions! THANK YOU!

Finally..i have a awful time looking up an navigating this app! I just seen what one comment i made was concerning salad (lettuce) an nutrition i want to clarify this. It didnt read the way i meant an it came across as bad choice. Thats not what i meant. Some love salads i used to eat them all the time i thought it was the diet thing to do..i know iceburg was the worst.i did like romaine but other filling lettuces i stopped all salads come tofind out it was causing my IBS an it was filling but for me i was always hungry. Plus by the time i piled everthing with it before i knew it the calories were way up there. Anyways sorry for the rambling. I no some greens have more nutritional value then others but to each their own. I do eat protein as main meal or snack. I hope you can find some foods that help ya stay fuller longer. I luv raw pecans, regular cottage cheese, i do eat organic turkey meats use as a roll up an put cream cheese with it. These forums are kinda hard to navigate.

I find - especially at work that if I ate a tiny lunch and am still hungry within a half hour, I'll bring some string cheese to tide me over. At home, I bought some deli to snack on

If your eating alot of salads its no substance .

Except for Vitamin K, Vitamin A, fiber and depending on your choice of greens even a bit of protein. Yeah, no substance at all.

I eat real food, get 70+ protein a day and have NEVER been constipated.

Are you on myfitnesspal or anything? I would love to see what your diet looks like and how you are getting that volume of protein in on a veggie based diet. I'm still early, but struggling with the constipation and want to know how to keep it at bay once I start purees/softs and eventually real food.
